Sorry for the early 80's rap reference there, I couldn't resist. Anyway... I saw this at the HardOCP, Tech Report, and Electic Tech, so I figured I'd better post it!
[PR]
SAN JOSE, CA -- October 15, 2001 -- At Microprocessor Forum today, AMD (NYSE: AMD) disclosed details of the company’s next-generation PC microprocessor architecture codenamed “Hammer.” AMD developed “Hammer” architecture as a foundation for its future portfolio of processors.

“The ‘Hammer’ architecture is designed to enable AMD to expand our presence from the dual processing market to the 4- and 8-way enterprise market, and provide top-to-bottom solutions for the performance desktop and notebook markets,” said Fred Weber, vice president and chief technical officer of AMD’s Computation Products Group. “AMD’s approach to 64-bit computing puts the IT customer first. It enables IT managers to take advantage of existing support, allowing them to upgrade to 64-bit software at the appropriate time and preserve their investment in 32-bit applications.”
[/PR]
Get the full scoop right here. What do you think, could AMD be hammering another nail into *ntel's coffin? (Hehehe... I crack myself up)

4-way hammer... sounds good to me!

But my buddy Serverworks makes a pretty sweet chipset, might have to go Xeon! :)

That's not '80s music. Hammer was early '90s. Believe me - I just 'refound' the collection about two weeks ago - casette tapes - eww. I can't believe I used to listen to that.

I think I'm going to go find my Depeche Mode and New Order CDs now.

You think you feel old. I listened to Hendrix, the
Beatles, Led Zeppelin, etc. on 45's. My daughter
doesn't even know what a 45 IS!

I remember thinking of him (MC Hammer) as
teenage crap, and now you tell me that was over
a dozen years ago????

Oh well, time to start checkin' out the retirement homes!

Hell... I forgot what we were talking about!

I have a Mobile Age Accelerator (TM) myself. We just ditched the training wheels and lost the second tooth over the weekend. That's good for a few more gray hairs on my head now too :D
